Ooh love the fox profile! So cute!
Okay, Serin has had sufficient time-out time and is ready to say sorry XD
SERIN
Serin dropped the stick.
“You just keep your stick away from my little girl, ok?” Layson said, the kid now in his arms. Too caught up, Serin’s mind didn’t fully proscess the words he said.
Serin glanced over at Layson and spoke in answer to his first question. “Serin is fine.”
Then she looked to Ellie. “What do you know about this castle?” Ellie’s tail twitched rapidly as she answered.
Serin let her mind rewind to whatever Layson had mentioned earlier. Wait, had it been ‘you just keep your stick away from my little girl’? Did the man think she would harm his child? She looked to be barely three years of age! What kind of monster did he think she was?
Ellie went on to explain some vauge details, but Serin was too shocked and more than a little horrified to hear them. “…I’ve tried to map it out in my head while we’ve walked though, but it doesn’t make any sense. It’s like a giant maze…” Ellie trailed off.
“Thank you.” Serin said, noticing Ellie’s wide eyes. Wide in concern for Dante. She scanned the boy. He seemed fine, his face twitching in a smirk. She had hit his hand pretty hard though, it would possibly bruse later.
She had to remember that these people weren’t enimies.
Words spoken from her mothers mouth years ago came back in a rush. Too young and hotheaded. Not enough like her sister. Shame coated Serin’s tongue and she glanced away.
Serin’s sister, Ghatii’s mother, was the younger sister, the soft one. Campassionate and loving, she had decided to refuse military training and settle down instead, marrying a nice man in the lower class and higher reaching buildings of Pelgar.
But what had her sister gotten from wanting a simple life of peace and love? An early burial.
Their mother had been so heart broken, she’d thrown herself off Pelgar’s highest tower. Serin’s eyes burned at the memories but she shook it off.
Staring at everyone in the hall until her eyes met Dante’s one, she said “I apologize. I have a tendancy to… overreact at times. You see in Pelgar, where I am from, to reach out as if to touch someone when you are not family is seen as insult. Often used by enimies to goad us.” Serin tried her best to explain the negative meaning. “It means to… force yourself on them, that you wish to take advantage of that person.”
She nearly choked on the words as she thought of her Great Grandmothers awful stories. It was one of the reasons their tribe had left the ocean after the Pelgarkinian Civil War. “I do not think you meant this, however. In Pelgar, this is how we greet new people.” She put her hand on her forehead, elbow down to her chest, and bowed to the group.
Love is patient. Love is kind. Love never fails. -1 Corinthians
And guess what? His is eternal (:January 6, 2023 at 2:31 pm #128103@princesachronicle22 can I just say I LOVE SERIN AND HER CHARACTER/WORLD AND EVERYTHING!! I am already invested in this world and people u have created and it is so intriguing!! I love the greeting you have created and it’s just…Ah so awesome!

Thanks!
Dante
Serin met Dante’s eye. “I apologize. I have a tendancy to… overreact at times. You see in Pelgar, where I am from, to reach out as if to touch someone when you are not family is seen as insult. Often used by enimies to goad us. It means to… force yourself on them, that you wish to take advantage of that person. I do not think you meant this, however. In Pelgar, this is how we greet new people.” She put her hand on her forehead, elbow down to her chest, and bowed.
Dante’s smirk faded. She was apologizing? He looked confused at Serin for a moment, unsure how to respond. Then he looked down, thrust his hands back into his pockets, and muttered, “It’s fine.” His right hand was stinging like crazy, but he was not going to let Serin know that. Or Ellie.
He glanced over at Ellie, who was holding her hand up with a focused look on her face, trying to mimic Serin’s greeting. She caught Dante’s eye, and put her hand down, embarrassed. Rain dripped onto the floor from the broken window behind her.
“It’s getting cold in here, and you guys are wet. We should probably keep moving.” Dante said, looking at Layson. He mostly said it to change the subject, but it was true that the hall they were in was rapidly cooling.

January 6, 2023 at 2:51 pm #128105Serin is really cool, by the way. I love how you have a different cultural greeting for her people.

@godlyfantasy12. NOVEMBERRRRRR!!!! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! @koshka. Sorry y’all, I was busy, but I’m back.
AND I JUST REALIZED I STILL HAVEN’T RP’ED AS JOSHUA/WOLFGANG/CAMILLE! *face-palms*
I’ll do that in a sec…but first, we need this to be sorted out!
Riker
November was suddenly covered in flames.
Slowly spreading up November’s body, covering him, surrounding him.
Almost everyone recoiled.
Erich stared, eyes wide, mouth open. Jezyk backed away. Fin just stared, and Hans watched, a mix of both anger and fear filling his coal eyes.
Someone began speaking, praying, actually, by the sound of it, and Riker realized it was Zlatan.
Zlatan and Vulkasin both watched November as he backed away. “Go! Y-you need to go! I-I’m sorry. I’m s-so sorry! I-I can’t. I can’t control it!” November screamed, backing away even more. The flames lapped up even higher, now almost completely covering his body. “You need to leave!”
“We need to go!” Erich yelled.
Hans nodded in agreement.
“And leave November!?” Fin asked incredulously.
“G-Go! Leave now! Before-before it’s too late!” November screamed.
“We need to go!” Jezyk cried, before rushing over to Zlatan and Vulkasin. “You’ve been walking around, right!? Where can we go!?”
“Novembré…?” Zlatan suddenly whispered, glancing over at November, who grit his teeth, eyes filling with pain.
“G-Go! Go n-now!!!”
“He’s right. Go.” Riker whispered, stepping forward, and he offered Zlatan and Vulkasin a small smile, “help them get somewhere safe…all of them. Fin. Erich. Jezyk. Hans. Get them somewhere safe…”
“Do you think I’d follow them!?” Hans asked, fists clenched.
Fin turned on him with a glare. “Would you rather die!? Because if so, then be my guest!”
Hans silenced, but he didn’t seem happy about it.
“What are we waiting for, then? Riker, you can lead us somewhere…you’ve been here before. You said it yourself.” Erich asked, coming over.
“Zlatan and Vulkasin can help you if they want…but I’m not leading anyone anywhere.”
“E-everyone g-go!” November yelled, surrounded by even more flames.
Jezyk’s eyes widened with fear. “…Riker…? Let-let’s go…” He whispered, voice shaking.
“Stay with Fin, Jezyk.”
Fin turned to Riker with a raised eyebrow. “What? Riker…?”
Riker stepped forward, slowly walking closer to November. “All of you…go…but I’m not going anywhere.”
January 6, 2023 at 4:37 pm #128112@freedomwriter76
sorry this took forever!
Eddie
As Eddie’s drowsiness faded, her desperate need to find her sister grew.
“Ellie! Els!” Her voice had tired out from calling her sister’s name over and over. There was still no Ellie. She stopped and slumped against a wall.
Where is she? Is she alone, too? Is she with Dante? Would he hurt her if she were? She took a deep breath in an attempt to slow her racing thoughts.
I know Ellie can take care herself, but… it’s just… we’ve never been apart in a strange place like this before.
Eddie looked up suddenly. She thought she had heard footsteps.

@mineralizedwritings. @lightoverdarkness6. @loopylin. @godlyfantasy12. I am SOOOOO sorry, y’all! I totally forgot about Joshua/Wolfgang/Camille for a bit!
And I’ve been busy!
So sorry, y’all!
Joshua
A small figure, Paxton, suddenly came through, arms outstretched, a huge smile on his face. He ran at Wolfgang. “W-Wolfg-ang!” He hugged Wolfgang, tight, and Wolfgang picked him up, hugging him back.
“Paxton!”
Joshua smiled softly, setting one hand on top of Paxton’s head, smiling softly, just as Paxton looked at everyone there, who seemed very…confused. Surprised, too.
A girl with pointed ears and purple hair suddenly stood, walking over with a smile. “You must be one of the brothers who helped Paxton!” She nodded towards Wolfgang and Joshua. Joshua smiled, removing his hand from Paxton’s head. “I am Luna!” She introduced, offering her hand to Joshua, which he took with a smile, just as she grinned at Camille, who’s eyes widened, and she gasped. “Are you a fairy!?”
Everyone began to introduce themselves. “I-I-I’m Matthew. I-it’s r-really nice t-to meet y-you.” A boy said, coming forward, his brown hair falling into his eyes, with a nervous lopsided smile. (his hair IS brown, right? XD)
Joshua smiled. He reminded him of Reuben. “Nice to meet you, Matthew.”
Two more came forward. A girl and a boy. “Hi, I’m Lesli, and that’s my friend Tauren.” She introduced, pointing at a boy with curly brown hair, who waved and smiled.
Joshua waved back, as Wolfgang still held Paxton, holding him close.
Oh, okay!! Cool!! Aww, I love them!! Jameson looks so sweet! (I think Ezra’s my favorite. He’s adorable!! And so sweet!! Ezra and Eva are the perfect couple!! Which book is he in??)
Thank you!!! I love them too! <333 (AHHH!!! So glad you love Ezra/Eva as a couple! 😀 <3 Ezra is in my book Allies & Lies, which has 3 other MC’s. Yes, 4 altogether. XD)
I like all these characters!
Thank you!!! 😀 <3

Thanks! Yeah, he is cute. XD Thank you! I like his name too! 😉

@loopylin. You’re good! This Castle is lot to keep up with right now! XD
Jakob
He wasn’t letting Reuben out of his sight again.
Reuben was safe, thank goodness, but still. They couldn’t risk Reuben being alone again.
But based on what Reuben had said, he hadn’t…well, been alone for long.
But some of the people he talked about…they sounded very…odd.
And a spaceship?
What even was a spaceship?
“Jakob, wait.” Reuben suddenly whispered, putting an arm out in front of his older brother, glancing around.
“Ellie! Els!”
Jakob raised an eyebrow, and looked down at Reuben, who’s eyebrows furrowed in concern.
“Someone is looking for someone…” Reuben whispered softly. “Come on…this way…”
Jakob stuck by his brother’s side, carefully aware of the dagger he had at his side, just in case.
They rounded the corner, and suddenly, they saw a very odd looking girl.
Reuben’s eyes widened. “Eddie!?”

“You have other magic users in your world?” Feather asked. “In my world there are several types….to be honest, I have a few simple powers myself. The ones from my world have created structures and buildings like this…but I don’t think it was one of them.”
Different kinds of magic? Aurivis thought. These humans and this place get more interesting every moment.
A loud crack of thunder overhead caught everyone’s attention. As the rain began to pour, the dragon held out his good wing to shelter his companions. Then he tilted his head back, enjoying the feeling of raindrops on his face.
(sorry I can’t think of anything for him to say or do right now)

I’m not sure what needs to happen, but I’m not sure Zlatan would leave November, while he may order Vulka to lead the others away. What does November need to happen? I don’t like him getting hurt, and I don’t like that Shadow that was taking to him.
*Starts wondering where the protection squad is*

January 6, 2023 at 5:11 pm #128123@freedomwriter76 aww Riker 🥰 @koshka
November
November felt his insides burn with the heat that encompassed him. Filling him to his very core. He shuddered with it, unable to control the tears that were flowing freely now, though they disappeared as soon as they appeared.
He squeezed his eyes shut, letting out a cry of anguish, and then opened them once more, only to find that…
Riker was still there…
Everyone else had gone, just like November had asked. Pleaded. Begged them to.
But…Riker had stayed.
“N-no…R-Riker!” He cried, “G-Go! P-please…” he shook his head, taking another step back, but Riker only followed, until November was backed against a wall, the stone beginning to scorch underneath the flames.
“I’m not going anywhere, November,” Riker spoke softly. “It’s alright. I know you wouldn’t hurt me.”
November gasped, the flames almost too much now for him to handle. He sobbed, “N-No! You…you don’t understand! I-I can’t…I can’t help it! I can’t stop it!”
Riker only gave a small smile, “It’s alright…” His voice was soft, calm. Different from the smoldering and crackling that enveloped November’s senses.
“I believe in you…alright, November? You can do this…” Riker took a slow, wary step forward.
November’s eyes widened as the man approached, flames now licking at Riker’s bootstraps. November scrunched against the wall as far as he could. His shirt ripped against the burning stone behind him, burning his skin even more then the flames already were.
“N-No! Stay back!” He cried. “Stop!” November held out his palm, and, as he did so, let out a pained cry. Fire erupted from his shoulder to his palm, narrowly missing the man in front of him.
Riker halted.
November’s head hung.
This was it…he was going to die like this. And Riker too, if he didn’t leave….
And then….
A cool breeze wafted past November’s neck, cooling the endless stinging, burning pain he felt. He blinked, wondering if it was his imagination.
But…it happened again. Another chill whipped through him, causing a pause to the flames.
November looked up.
And there, behind Riker.
Corvina.
“November!” Her voice shattered whatever it was that held his body and mind in it’s grip, making him gasp and jerk upright. Her face was white as a ghost, eyes wide and shaking, tears streaming from them. Shadows expelled from her feet, and, as Riker suddenly turned at the sound of the voice….
She was gone.
November fell to the floor, the flames completely gone, and the ground now fold beneath him. He whimpered, curling into a ball, his arms and upper torso burning.
No longer was he just sunburnt, but now his arms and stomach were bright red, dark even, like the sunset, and he could almost still feel the flames licking at his face.
He squeezed his eyes shut, another tear running down his face, stinging his burning cheeks.
If Corvina hadn’t…
His fingers dug into his skin as he clenched his fists, bile rising to his throat.
Why..? Why was he cursed with this?
